Outlook – How to change the default Junk Mail folder in Outlook

microsoft-outlookspam-prevention

I'm using an IMAP mail service (fastmail.fm) which moves Junk email messages to an IMAP folder called "Junk Mail". Outlook archives Junk to "Junk E-Mail".
How do I change Outlook so that it uses the "Junk Mail" folder for Junk instead of the default?

Best Answer

It is much easier to Configure fastmail.fm to save probable spam in the Junk E-Mail folder Outlook creates than build a custom Outlook configuration.

  • Login to fastmail
  • Go to Options > Spam/Virus Protection
  • Click on Custom beside Spam Protection
  • Change the destination folder for Probable Spam from Junk Mail to Junk E-Mail and save. Custom Spam Protection Settings
